Associates
For the best litigators, HSG offers exceptional opportunities and top-of-market compensation.
HSG is built for ambitious lawyers who want to become elite trial and appellate advocates. We hire exceptional associates, give them real responsibility, and expect them to help drive strategy on high-stakes matters from day one. Our associates learn by doing: working directly with clients, shaping case strategy, taking and defending depositions, arguing motions, and preparing cases for trial.
That commitment extends to compensation. HSG pays at the top of the market, and our associate base salary scale ranges from $240,000 for the Class of 2026 to $465,000 for the Class of 2018.

HSG also pays year-end bonuses at or above market rates, and lawyers joining HSG from a clerkship receive a market-rate clerkship bonus. In addition, the firm provides substantial retirement benefits through its 401(k) and profit-sharing plans. Compensation for more senior associates, counsel, and other attorneys is determined on an individual basis.
